10 things you should NEVER do with Google Adsense by John Ryan
http://theblogpro.net I must admit some of these points are a little basic, but
it would surprise you how easy it is to make these mistakes.
Most people who blog, and most certainly people who blog for a revenue, know,
or need to know, what not to do with their Google ads. I, way too often notice
blogs that fail to follow the Google Adsense rules, and in turn loose out in
any earnings they have made with the Google Adsense program. Especially, it is
very hard on those who have expended much Subscriptions both financially and in
'blood and tears' on their site, only to realize that they misunderstood the
rules, or even worse did not take the time to follow them correctly (this
regrettably seems to be the most popular excuse). So here is a list, it is not
exhaustive however, and I may have missed some important points, so please feel
free to comment on this, as with all my posts (well 90% anyway) they are
interactive, via comments.
I would love to hear any feedback and any additional points, which I will add
to the article if relevant.
1. Do not use other contextual ads with Google Adsense 2. Do not tell people or
encourage them to click your ads, "sponsored links" or "advertisements" are
allowed, but no other terms. 3. Do not modify the Google Adsense code. 4. Do
not click on your own ads, if you do by mistake - tell google, they love
feedback from their customers, and will appreciate you telling them this
information. 5. Do not use tools like 'traffic generators' with Google ads, or
systems that you pay to have people visit your site these may be seen as FALSE
IMPRESSIONS, and thus the clicks generated by this will not be valid, and may
result in Google suspending you Adsense account, or removing the funds
involved. 6. Do not place your ads in a location where they might be seen to be
part of another ad service you may use. 7. Do not place your ads on empty
pages, for example if you are updating your site and you have Google ads on
your header, and say for example you have created a section, which will be very
popular soon, but is currently empty, by placing your Adsense code on the page
now you may end up with ads that are not targeted correctly, as Google sends
out it's 'bots' as soon as it can, usually within 30 minutes, and after that
they may not come back for another 3 weeks, so you could be left with non
paying ads (public service ads) for they entire period, whilst you may have had
high traffic during that time. 8. Do not place more that 3 ad units on your
blog/site ( they usually wont show anyway, so you will just be wasting your
time - and space) 9. Do not e-mail your Google Adsense code, (yes people try to
place them in newsletters), but it does break Google's TOS, so a big NO NO 10.
Do not - not ask questions, when in doubt always ask before you act!
